ok I am not the expert.. but they say on 3rd node you top her..

 

[Daffid]

You can start LST now, though I'm not sure there is really any benefit from starting prior to 3-4 nodes since the stem is still so flexible at this point that she's easy to train.

 

[mikeyxb]

Yeah I think I will wait till she has 5 or 6 nodes then start... ordered my tent now got a .8 x.8 x 1.6 also gained some juicy lucy auto seeds to give a go also

ok if you start on 3rd to 4th node to top her.. she needs less time to recover.. it you go later...you need to add grow time to your schedule ( about a week or 2)

 

[mikeyxb]

I was reading earlier that as she is an auto to skip the topping of the plant is this correct?

The autos is a different story,, some say top here some say dont

They grow their own phase and topping might actually harm them since you don't know from which parent they took their genes...

Definitely coming along nicely now still trying to set tent up for it to move into also seedlings have all sprouted quite proud so far with 100 percent germination so far still have 2 seeds for myself as the 3 seedlings where for a friend to start off then passing them on

As you may see one seedling has only come out with one round leaf but still seems to be growing will get updated pics as they grew quite a lot in the second night

Ok then, I'll just be sitting and watching them grow, so... any new pics?

 

[mikeyxb]

As you can see from the pics had a little mishap one of my lights fell and burnt one of the leaves absolutely gutted was looking so well but hopefully it will recover and the little ones stretched over towards the fallen light lol

Hi man! I like your grow so far, you have it all under control. The topping can be done now. Do you know how the plant grows? About lateral and terminal buds? How the bud sites react to light? If not, go read something about it, there is whole section dedicated to the plant's growth. You can check my journals, where I do some training and topping. Also bury her up to the first seed leaves, so she grows roots from the stem and get some blue and yellow sticky traps if there is a possibility of some flies flying to your plant. I recommend PH meter of some kind to check you PH of water and runoff water. Feel free to ask about anything, keep it up and happy growing!

Oh, you barely see the burned parts, don't worry that they are just fine!!! You are doing great!
